Released six years after the harvest, the 2013 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is theoretically considered a new wine, although in practice this expression of Nebbiolo is part of the Sibi Paucis series of late releases from this estate. It is a beautiful expression that you appreciate more in the mouth than you do on the nose. Silky and elegant, the tannins have been softly integrated, and the overall effect is beautifully tempered and graceful. Its very apparent mineral sensations and budding tertiary complexity make it an important wine even when stacked against the other lofty achievements of Luciano Sandrone.

Macerated cherry, menthol and tobacco flavors mark this juicy, rich red. The dense matrix of tannins provides support on the long finish. Drink now through 2020. 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Nebbiolo d'Alba Select to Add
